Its hard to tell if this show suffers from inconsistent writing or if its an aesthetic intended to give the audience a visceral reaction as if they are experiencing a surreal nightmare along with the main character, rather than just observing her and the others.

I think if you can accept it as intentional, you can at least enjoy the ride for what it is. I spent the whole series trying to decide and in the end I think I ended up on the side of deliberately surreal. But constantly second guessing everything kept me out of the story, which gave me the worst of both worlds.

I went into this blind, based on the rating alone and I was absolutely loving it. The idea that a time-loop was like being in a video game was genius.

And then Mel Gibson showed up. And I figured, maybe he's just got a bit part. But nope, he's apparently the main villain. And he just keeps on talking and talking and talking. And I had to turn it off.

Hollywood doesn't need to rehabilitate that raycist. There are tons of other talented actors who don't make people feel like they need to take a shower when they see them on screen. Don't believe the hype that hollywood is "librul." Far from being "cancelled" for his raycism, Gibson has been rewarded because apparently he makes them money.

Fortunately, there are lots of other great movies to watch that do not star gross people.

Its an ultra-low budget movie with stilted dialog written so poorly that it yanks you out of the story - like characters speaking in the first person but using adjectives and adverbs fit for the third person, such as "My mother and I were understandably baffled."

if you can get past the amateurism, its a story about what its like to be traumatized by an attack and feel like no one understands you now, not even the people closest to you. In a clumsy, Stockholm syndrome way, the only person who understands what the protagonist went through, and has now become as a result of the attack, is the person who attacked her.
